... Do you take? I am so full after just my am pills I am not hungry for breakfast for at least an hour. Wouldn't be so bad I guess if I didn't supplement my pills with things like vitamins and minerals for preventive medication as well.

Strange though I can tell when they kick in especially the valium. Just wondering how many pills a day is average for the BP champion? I take 33 and 1/2 a day, (with milk and marshmellows I call it Lucky Charms LOL).

I think I am going to BBQ some Abilify for Easter dinner ...

I take nine throughout the day, 7 in the morning and 2 at night

nine....that's it, not all for bipolar, only five for that throughout the day. I couldn't afford to pay for more even if I needed them

Five psych meds, one heartburn med, and one diabetic med. No benzos or pain killers.

12! Whats wrong with this picture, I feel like hell. Why do I take so many plls and never feel any better, most are for bp. Why am I wasting money on medicine? Yup, there's something wrong alright.
